Abstract:
A beverage dispensing arrangement (10) for dispensing beverage into beverage cups (25) that are secured within a beverage cup carrying container (19). The arrangement (10) includes a dispensing bench (11) on which the cup and carrying container assembly (19) can be supported at a beverage dispensing assembly (20) for dispensing beverage into the cups (25) of the assembly (19). The assembly (20) includes at least two dispensing taps (28, 30) that are spaced apart relative to the spacing of the cups (25) of the container (19) to overlie the open ends of the cups (25) when the container assembly (19) is placed in a beverage receiving position.
Abstract:
A beverage tray filling assembly includes a housing having a bottom and a perimeter wall extending upwardly from the bottom of the housing. The perimeter wall defines a base of the housing. An access opening extends through the perimeter wall of the housing. A tank is coupled to the housing and configured for holding a beverage. A filling assembly is coupled to and positioned in the housing. The filling assembly is in fluid communication with the tank whereby the filling assembly dispenses the beverage from the tank. A tray is insertable through the access opening and positionable in the base of the housing. Each of a plurality of serving cups is positioned in an associated aperture in the tray. The tray is positionable such that each serving cup receives the beverage dispensed from the tank by the filling assembly.
Abstract:
The dispensing device (1) has a beverage receptacle (2) with holes (200) in the base thereof, said holes being stopped with valves (3); a supporting base (4) that supports the receptacle; serving mechanisms (5) for opening the valves; and a cooling element mounted between the receptacle and the stand. The base (20) of the receptacle has, within, a convex central portion (201) and a peripheral portion (202) with the emptying holes, and the outer part thereof has a concave central portion (203) and a peripheral zone (204) with housings (205) for mounting a respective valve. The stand has an upper portion (40) in which the receptacle fits, and supporting legs (41). The serving mechanisms (5) are mounted in the upper portion of the stand, operationally facing the respective valve. The cooling element (6) is designed to be fitted inside the upper portion of the stand, with the base of the receptacle located above said element.
Abstract:
A concurrent use water cooler capable of simultaneously dispensing a single fluid to two or more users is presented. The invention includes a container having a single reservoir therein, a lid contacting and removable from the container, at least two spigots disposed about and attached to the container, a vent hole, and a plug to close the vent hole. Spigots communicate with the single reservoir and enable the gravity-fed dispensing of a single fluid. At least one spigot has a threaded spout allowing attachment of a fluid supply line. The threaded spigot is biased to resist the static pressure associated with fluid within the supply line so as to remain closed unless actuated by the user. An optional stand contacts and supports the water cooler. One or more cup dispensers may be attached to the container or stand. The present invention has immediate applicability to sports teams, military units, construction crews, and the like, where two or more persons consume a potable liquid.
Abstract:
The present invention provides apparatus and methods for distributing beer from a keg to a plurality of destinations. Beer is received from the keg through a coupler and divided to a plurality of branches that may be opened with by valves.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for distributing liquid to a number of consumers, in particular for use in a drinks machine. The device comprises a number of receptacles which are positioned next to one another which corresponds to the number of consumers, a liquid feed line having an outlet opening which opens out above the receptacles, and manipulation means for positioning the outlet opening above a specific receptacle by manipulation of the relative position of the outlet opening, on the one hand, and the receptacle, on the other hand. At the outlet end of the feed line, there is provided a cover which extends laterally with respect to the liquid feed line and extends at least as far as the receptacles which adjoin the receptacle which is to be supplied. The cover may extend as far as above the said adjacent receptacles and may even completely overlap the said receptacles. The cover may also extend over all the receptacles.
Abstract:
A dispenser made in accordance with the present disclosure includes a liquid storage container and a mechanical regulating assembly that are mounted on a frame. A plurality of conduits is in liquid communication with the storage container and dispenses liquid flowing from the container under the force of gravity through the conduits through open distal ends. The regulating assembly of the dispenser regulates this flow using two pinch rollers that are moveable between a closed position, wherein the rollers pinch the sections of tubing and restrict flow, and an open position, wherein there is a free flow of liquid through the sections of tubing.
Abstract:
A beverage dispensing apparatus is shown for filling multiple containers at a beverage dispensing station located adjacent a walk-in beverage cooler. A housing is mounted on an upright exterior wall of the walk-in cooler. The housing has top, bottom and interconnecting side walls. One of the side walls is mounted flush with the cooler upright wall and is provided with a wall duct which communicates with the interior of the walk-in cooler. The bottom wall of the housing is provided with beverage dispensing openings which are selectively positioned for dispensing beverages into a plurality of containers located below the bottom wall. A plurality of transfer lines are connected at one end to a source of pressurized beverage inside the walk-in cooler. The opposite ends of the lines pass through the wall duct into the housing and run to the beverage dispensing openings for dispensing beverage into the containers located below the bottom wall. Pinch valves located within the housing control the simultaneous flow of beverage through the lines to the dispensing openings. A blower mounted on the interior upright wall of the walk-in cooler opposite the housing circulates cool air from within the walk-in cooler, through the wall duct, and into the interior of the housing to cool the beverage being transferred through the beverage transfer lines.
